The Princess & The Pea

Currently I am working on a series of new illustrations for little children. I guess “think pink” describes pretty much the direction I am taking with this project. This illustration is the first  of whimsical little paintings in pastell colors showing princesses, ballerinas, teddy bears and such…whatever a little child might like.
The illustration is done [...]

Mobile Bay – Where Did The Oil Go?

It’s finished!
While I was painting a subtitle idea for this illustration came to me: “Where Did The Oil Go?” I thought of the oil spill that happened not too long ago and just wanted it to be part of the painting.  Because of it, I had to make some ‘minor’ adjustments such as the black [...]

The Kiss

The idea for “the Kiss” was born when I saw a photograph of myself showing me with this really long stretched face (I don’t even know how I did it). It didn’t take me long to decide that the illustration needed a frog as counterpart. To keep everyone’s attention on  the frog and me, I [...]

polar bear

I have always worn a polar bear charm, which I’d like to consider a good luck charm. I guess it was just about time to include it into one of my illustrations. In order to make the design more intriguing I added strings to the penguins as well as the eskimos – it gives the [...]

simply me

It’s me – five times…
I wanted to try something new…realistic drawn faces (pencil and prismacolor) placed on not so realistic bodies (prismacolor and acrylic). I had to work on it digitally, too because the colors wouldn’t transfer very well from my photographs to the screen.

Stripes

“Stripes” is about a little girl (and her cat) in
a striped T-Shirt
with a striped hair-do
sitting on a striped armchair
that is placed on a striped floor.
Any more questions?

Mermaid

‘A mermaid taking a mile deep dip in a 20″ bath tub.”
I used prismacolors and acrylics for the illustration.

Pinocchio

Pinocchio is my latest illustration in mixed media on illustration board.
The task was to have ‘Kaleb’ – the little boy – being part of a fairy tale. I thought he would be the perfect counterpart for Pinocchio. Because Pinocchio is still “just” a string puppet I have another string puppet play with him – only [...]
